Once and for all, it's called Pop!

Mark, when you moved from Michigan to Pennsylvania, you vowed not to pick up the accent. I guess you chose some others. I still speak like a person hopelessly stuck in the Midwest. And, it is called "pop."

Your Result: The Midland -- "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

Maybe I just know how to pronounce words?!?!? And of course it's called "pop"!! And Lebanon bologna is NOT funny! :)
